The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 15.6m. find the lengths of its sides, if:

the base is 3m smaller than a leg.

so length of sides is 6 .2 m ( other side will also be 6.2 m)

base = 3.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

let the length of sides of isosceles triangle is = x

as two sides of  of isosceles triangle are equal

let the length of the side be x

so length of side = x

base  = x -3 ( as it is 3 m smaller in length )

according to formula of perimeter of isosceles triangle

perimeter = 2 (side) + Base

adding the values  

15.6  = 2 (x) + x-3

15.6 = 2x +x -3

15.6 = 3x-3

15.6 = 3( x-1) taking 3 common

dividing both sides by 3

15.6/3 = 3(x-1)/3

5.2  =x-1

or x -1 = 5.2

adding 1 from both sides

x-1 +1 = 5.2 +1

x = 6.2

so length of sides is 6 .2 m ( other side will also be 6.2 m)

base = x-3 = 6.2-3 = 3.2 m
